The global team, MSITMaterials Science International Team is the group of experts behind MSI Eureka. MSIT compiles and evaluates data, generates missing data, creates new knowledge, since 26 years

The company, MSIMaterials Science International Services, GmbH hosts the global team, markets MSI Eureka



1984, a team of materials scientists

(MSIT) started from the Max-Planck-

Institute for Metals Research, Germany.

1989, MSI GmbH gives office and

guidance to MSIT, continues the mission

Today, MSI & MSIT form a large network

in materials constitution.

Materials properties are affected by its phases and phase changes

Phases change with temperature, pressure or materials composition

Rising temperature transforms the solid phase (snow) into liquid.

The pressure under the skates transforms solid (ice) into liquid. The skater glides on a water film!

Adding salt (ice + NaCl) lowers the melting point. Ice transforms into liquid.

“With MSI Eureka we have been able to rationalize our research plans using the high quality critical evaluations as a starting point in experiments and computer simulation (Calphad method). MSI Eureka indeed helps to simplify our missions, we can achieve our research goals more efficiently and it brings real materialsconstitution into our students‘ teaching.”

Prof. H.J. Seifert, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany

“Before we spent a lot of time in searching different bibliographic data bases. Since the year 2000 - with “MSI Eureka” and its forerunner the “MSIT Phase Diagram Center” - we can do this job in minutes. Already the time saving pays for itself, and we appreciate the outstanding quality of the evaluated phase diagramsfor the ternary materials systems.“

Prof. R. Schmid-FetzerTU Clausthal, Germany
